The Coins of Sweden
THE COINS OF SWEDEN To Queen Christina By David Ruckser Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. It has borders with Norway (west and north) and Finland (northeast). It has been a member of the European Union since January 1, 1995. Its capital city is Stockholm. At 449,964 km² (173,720 square miles), Sweden is the third largest country by area in Western Europe and fifth in all of Europe. Sweden has a low population density of 20 people per square kilometre, except in its metropolitan areas; 84% of the popula- tion lives in urban areas, which comprise only 1.3% of the country's total land area so that's about 1,300 people per square kilometre (3,400 per square mile) in urban areas. The inhabitants of Sweden enjoy a high standard of living, and the country is generally perceived as modern and liberal, with an organisational and corporate cul- ture that is non-hierarchical and collectivist compared to its Anglo-Saxon counter- parts.[3] Nature conservation, environmental protection and energy efficiency are generally prioritized in policy making and embraced by the general public in Sweden. Sweden has long been a major exporter of iron, copper and timber. Improved trans- portation and communication has allowed for the large scale utilization of remote nat- ural assets, most notably timber and iron ore. In the 1890s, universal schooling and industrialization enabled the country to devel- op a successful manufacturing industry and by the twentieth century, Sweden emerged as a welfare state, consistently achieving high positions among the top-ranking countries in the UN Human Development Index (HDI).

A Medieval Marchland 404332
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83225-0 - A Concise History of Finland David Kirby Excerpt More information 1 A medieval marchland 404332 The physical contours of northern Europe, including the 338,145 sq.km. of land and water that constitute the present-day republic of Finland, were essentially shaped in the aftermath of the great Ice Age. The retreating mass of ice scoured the crystalline bedrock of the Fenno-Scandian shield, leaving in its wake thousands of shallow lakes, eskers and drumlins, and a deeply indented coastline that is still emerging from the sea as the land recovers from the tre- mendous compression of the glaciers. Only in the far north of Finland does the land rise above a thousand metres. To the east, the Maanselka¨ ridge is a watershed for the rivers that run west- wards into the Gulf of Bothnia and eastwards into the White Sea. The great lake systems of central and eastern Finland are separated from the coastal regions by a further series of ridges running in a south-eastward direction towards the south coast. Almost a quarter of the surface area of this inland region is covered by water, and a further 20 per cent is classified as wetland, mostly bogs and mor- asses. With all but a tiny tip of land lying north of the sixtieth parallel (Oslo and the Shetland Islands lie on this latitude, Stock- holm slightly further south), Finland can claim to be the most northerly of all the countries of mainland Europe, stretching over a thousand kilometres from the northern shores of the Baltic towards the Arctic Sea.

Sweden SG Cycling
SWEDEN: CENTRAL LAKES & ISLANDS OR WEST COAST BIKE PATH 7 day or 8 day inn-to-inn easy to moderate SELF GUIDED cycling tours Get a taste of Sweden that many visitors rarely experience, cycling in one of the most bike-friendly countries in Europe, with hundreds of kilometres of cycle paths and dedicated cycle routes. Summer (June to August) offers long days, short nights, comfortable temperatures; spring brings blooming wildflowers; autumn colourful trees, wild berries ripening, and cinnamon buns in many local bakeries. These easy to moderate self-guided cycling tours offer two very different sides of Sweden, both in landscape and culture. The first starts and ends in Stockholm and explores the rural landscapes and lush green meadows of Södermanland where there are few hills and the cycling is mostly flat. There are castles and palaces to visit, and time to explore the unique small towns and pretty lakes. Viking sites, ancient runestones and rock carvings are on the agenda too, as is the pretty village of Trosa on the Baltic Sea with its iconic red houses and water views. Alternatively, explore the West Coast, cycling the Kattegattleden Bike Path, Sweden’s first national bicycle trail, a 370-kilometre bicycle route alongside the Kattegat arm of the North Sea. The path crosses the Halland region, from Helsingborg to Gothenburg, past sandy beaches, through picturesque fishing villages and on small city bike paths with usually very little traffic. Explore historic places including the medieval town of Falkenberg, 13th Century Varberg Fortress, and the Iron Age Li burial site near Gothenburg.

ROCZNIKI DZIEJÓW SPOŁECZNYCH I GOSPODARCZYCH Tom LXXX – 2019 DAG RETSÖ https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0128-0257 Stockholm University TERRITORIAL FISCAL SYSTEMS IN MEDIEVAL SWEDEN*1 Zarys treści: W artykule przedstawiono ewolucję terytorialnych systemów skarbowych w średniowiecznej Szwecji. Opisano długoterminowe trudności fi nansowe, które zmusiły Koronę do zastosowania wielu strategii fi skalnych, przedstawiono również chronologiczny podział (na pięć faz) zasad funkcjono- wania polityki terytorialnej i fi skalnej. Z przeprowadzonej analizy wynika, że równowagę budżetową udało się osiągnąć jedynie w kilku krótkich okresach, ale też państwo potrafi ło efektywnie radzić sobie z walką z defi cytem budżeto- wym, przy jednoczesnych naciskach ze strony szlachty i chłopstwa. Uwidocz- niło się to zwłaszcza w decyzji o wprowadzeniu niskich podatków, podjętej po udanej rebelii Olava Engelbrektssona w latach 1434–1436. W artykule nie podjęto jednak próby przeprowadzenia ilościowej analizy poziomu dochodów szwedzkiej Korony. The content outline: T his article provides an overview of the evolution of territorial fi scal systems in medieval Sweden. It is shown that persistent fi nan- cial strains forced the Crown to implement a whole range of fi scal strategies. A rough fi ve-stage chronology of different territorial and fi scal policies is pre- sented. It demonstrates that a budget balance was never really achieved except for short periods, but also that the combined challenge of budget defi cits and political pressures from the nobility and the peasantry were handled quite diligently. That was especially the case during the low-tax regime established by the Engelbrekt uprising in 1434–1436. No attempt was made in the arti- cle to assess the level of income of the Swedish Crown in quantitative terms.

Minor Papal Penitentiaries of Dacia, Their Lives and Careers in Context (1263 – 1408)
Bind 21_1:Layout 1 24-06-08 11:18 Side 86 View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Novus - Online tidsskrifter (Novus forlag) Minor Papal Penitentiaries of Dacia, their Lives and Careers in Context (1263 – 1408) Eldbjørg Haug From 1263 – 1391, fifteen mendicants are mentioned as minor penitentiaries for the province Dacia in the Apostolic Penitentiary. Nine of them ended their careers as bish- ops in the Baltic and Scandinavia. The hypothesis in this article is that the Scandina- vian papal penitentiaries were intermediates between a geographic periphery of Christendom and the papacy, and contributed to a further centralisation of the univer- sal church. For this purpose it gives a comprehensive biography of the Scandinavian papal penitentiaries in context. On 30 May 1351, the first attempt to centralise the Norwegian church through a papal provision to a bishopric occurred.1 This introduced a period in Norwegian ec- clesiastical history which the founder of the ‘Norwegian Historical School’, the his- torian Rudolf Keyser, as the first described as an overruling of the local church province by the kings of the late medieval unions. The bishop who received a dio- cese in this way, had a significant trait in common with four other bishops in the province, namely a career background in the Apostolic Penitentiary as penitentiarius minor for ‘Dacia’.2 From this moment the kings cooperated with the popes who pro- vided their loyal men to the Norwegian bishoprics. A definite change to the inter- mingling in the church’s internal affairs did not come before 1458, when King Christian I confirmed the concordat of Tunsberg from 1277.3 This confirmation left the Norwegian church in a freer position vis-à-vis the king than the Danish one, which after the reform councils followed the Concordat of Vienna.4 1 A shorter version of this article is published in International Encyclopaedia for the Mid- dle Ages-Online.
